We purchased and assembled last summer. Very nice structure. Assembly was not the easiest but the instructions were clear and easy to read. Would recommend having several tall, strong people for assembly. Especially to lift the roof pieces into place.

After researching every available gazebo model on the market, we chose this one and couldn’t be happier with our decision. We live in the CA desert where wind gusts in our area can regularly reach up to 75 mph. This model said it could withstand 125 mph winds, which no other product claimed, so I selected this one for that very purpose. Prior to the gazebo’s arrival, we had a contractor pour cement and add steel brackets to the post locations. We opted to pay the additional money to have the gazebo built by the company and we’re so glad we did as it took three men, several hours to do it. They did a wonderful job and were very friendly. Once they finished, our contractor added steel bolts to the posts, securely attaching them to the brackets, thus ensuring they would withstand our crazy, erratic conditions. Our contractor also added string light bulbs and a ceiling fan/light. He then hooked up a waterline to the gazebo and installed a misting system. Finally, he hung interior mosquito netting curtain panels and outer heavy privacy curtains, both of which are tied at the four corners when not in use. We LOVE our new outdoor space! Our friends and family have also marveled at it. We love that the structure is built from beautiful wood beams, rather the aluminum like many of the models we see. We have a day bed couch, two chairs and a coffee table under it, and since it has extra electrical outlets, we regularly bring a lightweight TV outside to watch while snuggled up on the couch. This gazebo has allowed us to enjoy our backyard more fully now. And every time I gaze out to our backyard and see it, it makes me happy. My husband says that makes this the best purchase ever.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very Happy with Gazebo looks sharp and solid, Make sure you have plenty of help and lots of free time as this was difficult to put together with 2 people. In retrospect, I wish I hired someone to assemble. However love my gazebo

The addition of this gazebo has created a nice outdoor living space on our deck. The deck was way too open and hot prior to adding this. It provides shade and keeps out outdoor furniture dry. It is also sturdy enough to hadle 2 feet of heavy wet snow in MA. I hang a hammock chair from the perimeter beams and added some outdoor curtains to manage the sunshine. My only complaint is that the perimeter roof trim installs over the roof panels which prevents snow from sliding off and directing water runoff onto the wood. This detail could be better. Assembly is time consuming, but the instructions are good and hardware is high quality.

We are very please with this product. We live in a very high wind area, and I was sick of replacing umbrellas every year. The style blends well with our home, and provides great shade for summer dining in the terrace. We hired people to assemble it, and they assured us this was much higher quality than they were used to assembling. Highly recommend!

We needed shade on our patio and had a hard time finding something because our space was so large. So we decided to purchase (2) of the Cordova 14 X 10 Gazebos which fit perfect on one side of our space. Now we have a perfect shaded space and a sun space to enjoy the summer months.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought and installed this a month ago, the install process is lengthy so I recommend packaging with an install. The only real issue is the kiln dried wood dried warped over time, so try and keep the product out of the sun If installing over multiple days. As with most kits, the most time consuming process is sorting parts. Overall I have gotten lots of compliments and would recommend this product.

The instructions were very thorough, I would recommend downloading the BILT AP as well. I would recommend a total of 3 people to install the roof panels but can be done with two strong people that have some basic carpentry skills. Keep all parts organized and take your time, the end result is beautiful. Highly recommend

We looked at a lot of options and different products on the market to replace our existing gazebo and finally decided to go with the Backyard discovery Cordova and we are glad we did. It is an extremely well constructed product. We live in upstate New York where we get plenty of snow and, we are confident that this gazebo will hold up to the snow load. It looks great on our deck and seems to be built to last. The power / outlet panel is a very nice feature and gives you plenty of options.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this as a cover over my Hot Tub. It’s very solid and well built. Used the service to have it built. Many parts and instructions are complex. I highly recommend professional assembly and installation.
